Default Re: Radiograms. Will they ever be wanted?

Well I like radiograms! , But the only one in residence here is a nice little 1935 HMV 370, since it has a small footprint and there is no space left for more . From around 1998 until a few years ago, I rescued dozens of 30s - 50s 'grams from the local auction rooms for little money, usually £5, and took them to a friend who collects and enjoys them. He has an impressive collection (hundreds! ) ), at his Blackheath industrial premises, (now nearly full!). The supply has dried up since the demise of the auctions locally, but at least I can go and look and listen to them and feel good about having saved so many fine machines from their usual fate. .

Regards, Mick.
